The reduction in calories results not so much from a slight drop...
...time she moved to Biot, she had a philosophy about her craft that would make a Cartier or Tiffany wince: "Diamonds have a killing effect on women; you can see the diamonds but not the woman. Good jewelry should have the opposite effect. It ought to remind one of a woman's beauty." She hated the idea of working for rich women who treated jewelry "as an investment or as a sign of their husbands' fortunes...
